How to Pronounce Broccoli in American Accent #learnenglish #learning

Okay, let's look at the American English pronunciation of the word "broccoli."

The typical American pronunciation is "BROK-ə-lee."

Here's a breakdown:

1. "BROK" - This first syllable has a short "o" sound, like in the word "box."

2. "ə" - The second syllable has a schwa sound, similar to the "a" in "about."

3. "lee" - The final syllable has a long "e" sound, like in the word "see."

The primary stress is on the first syllable, "BROK."

Some additional notes on the American English pronunciation:

- The "r" sound in "BROK" is pronounced, unlike some British accents where it may be silent.
- The second syllable "ə" is unstressed and has a muted schwa sound.
- The final syllable "lee" has a long "e" sound.
- The emphasis is clearly on the first "BROK" syllable.

To practice, try saying "BROK-ə-lee" out loud a few times, focusing on that initial stressed "BROK" sound.

Getting the rhythm and stress pattern down will help this sound natural in an American accent. Let me know if you have any other questions!
